Deductions & credits

You cannot deduct moving expenses on your federal tax return unless you are an active-duty military member. However:

New York

You can deduct moving expenses on your New York state tax return. New York allows deductions for moving expenses that meet specific criteria, such as moving for a new job or business. For detailed information, refer to:

• New York State Tax Deduction for Moving Expenses
• NY is non-conforming with respect to the suspension of the moving expense deduction by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), so moving expenses are deductible on a NYS tax return.

Virginia

Virginia also allows deductions for moving expenses. You can claim moving expenses on your Virginia state tax return if they meet the state's criteria. VA conforms to the TCJA as regards to moving expenses, so moving expenses are only deductible in VA if you are a member of the armed forces and qualify for the federal deduction
